A Barnesville motorist was found not guilty by a jury of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol following a one day trial Monday before Judge John E. Domalakes in Schuylkill County court.
David A. Meranda, 52, of Shady Lane, testified he had a few beers but was not drunk when stopped on April 8, 2011, by Rush Township Patrolman Jonathan McHugh, on Fairview Street, also known as Air Products Road, around 12:30 a.m.
McHugh testified he was on patrol duty and came upon a car which crossed the yellow divider line several times and he stopped the vehicle.
